IKATRUGA - Game Jam

IKATRUGA - Game Jam

Update 2021-02-02

Nobody will probably read this, but just as clarification: This game will never be updated. I remember when I made the jam game, it was really exciting, but since I haven't touched it in so long, it's clear I have no motivation to work on it. And nobody cares either, so it works out. Just want to put this here for anyone who somehow stumbles upon it. 

I've started doing some more prototyping in GMS2 and UE4. Nothing planned yet. Just getting back into the game development hobby, and it's more likely I'll create something new than revisit these old jam games.

Update

July 22, 2019 - Thanks to all my friends who gave it a go! You guys probably won't read this but makes me really happy that some people are enjoying the game even if it's just a small number of you. It really motivates me to take the prototype and turn it into something more, so that you guys get your 5 minutes of fun :D

Bugs/Wishlist

Known Bugs: Right now, there seems to be random periods of input lag, which really sucks. I'll definitely want to fix that next. Will make a separate project page so that it's not related to the game jam submission. Fixed!

Wishlist: Hearing all my friends reporting their high scores makes me really regretful I didn't implement some sort of high score server, so that's the number one enhancement I want to add. It may have to be hosted on not-itch though, but I will see what options I have available.
